Solar Oven Progress

I gave away my solar oven and am in the process of building another. It's not all the way done but I've got it sitting on the chair in the backyard anyway. I'm planning on having an interior box set inside an exterior box (which will help hold in the heat). Right now I just have the interior box built. It's just a cardboard box with foil and glass. I am going to redo it somewhat because the top has a little too much shadowing of the interior.

It's 11:00 in the morning and it's 70° outside. It's almost 200° in the oven. Not bad for an incomplete project. I'll post more pictures soon. I'm hoping to work on it some more this weekend and get it finished.

About Me

With over 19 years working on our preps and after having a created a fully prepared 5 acres in the Great Central Valley of California, we up and moved to a very small town in Colorado. We are now on 35 acres with no fruit trees, no garden, a home that isn't finished, and no job. Sounds like paradise, or at least it will be. Lots of work to do. How much time do I have before there's no time left?
We still have food storage and lots of provisions, but are not in any way self sufficient...yet. Follow us on our new adventure. Perhaps you'll learn something from us and from your comments we can learn something from you.
